Overview of this book

Mastering MongoDB 7.0 explores the latest version of MongoDB, an exceptional NoSQL database solution that aligns with the needs of modern web applications. This book starts with an informative overview of MongoDB’s architecture and developer tools, guiding you through the process of connecting to databases seamlessly. This MongoDB book explores advanced queries in detail, including aggregation pipelines and multi-document ACID transactions. It delves into the capabilities of the MongoDB Atlas developer data platform and the latest features, such as Atlas Vector Search, and their role in AI applications, enabling developers to build applications with the scalability and performance that today’s organizations need. It also covers the creation of resilient search functionality using MongoDB Atlas Search. Mastering MongoDB 7.0’s deep coverage of advanced techniques encompasses everything from role-based access control (RBAC) to user management, auditing practices, and encryption across data, network, and storage layers. By the end of this book, you’ll have developed the skills necessary to create efficient, secure, and high-performing applications using MongoDB. You’ll have the confidence to undertake complex queries, integrate robust applications, and ensure data security to overcome modern data challenges.

Encryption at rest

This feature is only available on MongoDB Enterprise Advanced or MongoDB Atlas (M10 and above). Encryption at rest allows you to encrypt data on storage devices, such as disks, arrays, etc. In contrast to encryption in-transit, which protects data while it is being transmitted between the client and the server, encryption at rest protects data directly on physical storage. This means that if your hardware is stolen or disks are compromised, the data remains protected.

MongoDB uses the AES-256 encryption algorithm to encrypt data. AES-256 is a strong encryption algorithm which is difficult to crack and is used in a wide variety of compliance standards. This algorithm uses a symmetric key, that is, the same key to encrypt and decrypt data.

Encryption at rest in MongoDB

MongoDB offers various options for implementing encryption at rest:

  • Transparent data encryption (TDE): MongoDB Enterprise provides transparent encryption of data at rest, meaning encryption...
